Back in July I shared some news from the Mighty Marvel Comics side of the fence about the return of the “Mighty Marvel Value Stamps” and if you missed that post or are new to our presentations just click on THIS LINK to be more up to speed. Earlier today I was in my local comic book retailer and they had the colorful folder where the collectors could showcase their stamps. I took a few photos of the whole thing to share them with you.

Once you open the folder you get a summary of the program and an advertisement about the return of “The Phoenix”. Marvel is making a pretty big deal about this and you should watch this section of the website because I will be shining a spotlight on the next round of True Believers comics which will be all focused on The Phoenix character.

The Press Release:
New York, NY-June 15, 2017- Marvel Comics is proud to announce a unique collaboration with Dustin Bates, lead singer and founder of the multi-media, modern rock band Starset, along with fan-favorite writer, Peter David (Ben Reilly: Scarlett Spider, Spider-Verse) for an all-new original 88-page graphic novel, THE PROX TRANSMISSIONS.

Inspired by the likes of Nikola Tesla and Carl Sagan, Starset’s albums, along with videos, websites, novels and one-of-a-kind live performances, were created as part of the over-arching concept, The Starset Society. Where science and fiction collide, The Starset Society is dedicated to publicizing emerging, near-future technologies and investigating their inevitable social, economic, political, and philosophical impact on society. Through this enlightening exploration, The Starset Society has teamed up with Marvel Comics to produce a one-of-a-kind adventure like nothing seen before.

A secret transmission from the far reaches of the galaxy falls into the hands of SETI radio astronomer Dr. Stephen Browning. His world begins to unravel as he discovers the cryptic message including information of advanced technology and a dire warning from the future. After Browning seeks aid of brilliant-yet-impetuous playboy Dr. Aston Wise, the two set off on an epic journey to discover the meaning of the transmission, only to discover that they are pawns in a much bigger game. Humanity hangs in the balance as powerful forces vie for control of the future, with only Wise and Browning to stop them.
